my husband and I luck out on a sale of these and each get one . the ability to program for a different time for each day be invaluable . once you understand how the timeset function work , it be a breeze to adjust . another reviewer comment that it do not have much of a radio , but I do not buy this gadget for its sound . I have a stereo if I want to hear good music ! all I want be for the radio to wake I up rather than a discordant `` beeeeeeep . '' and that it do ! I also do not mind manual tuning ; I like the ability to be able to tune in station with a knob . Digital tuning mean you be stick listen to whatever tuning the radio deem correct .
